WarmStart RTx Reverse Transcriptase (Glycerol-free) is formulated without glycerol to support lyophilization, incorporation into microfluidic devices, and enable quick adoption into automation workflows.
WarmStart RTx Reverse Transcriptase is a unique in silico-designed RNA-directed DNA polymerase coupled with a reversibly-bound aptamer that inhibits RTx activity below 40°C. This enzyme can synthesize a complementary DNA strand initiating from a primer using RNA (cDNA synthesis) or single-stranded DNA as a template. RTx is a robust enzyme for RNA detection in amplification reactions and is particularly well suited for use in LAMP (Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification). The WarmStart property enables high throughput applications, room temperature setup, and increases the consistency and specificity of amplification reactions. RTx contains intact RNase H activity.
This product is a core component of the LyoPrime WarmStart® Fluorescent LAMP/RT-LAMP Mix (with UDG), a lyophilized LAMP mix offering ambient/room temperature storage and shipping and streamlined assay development. To learn about the lyophilization process, please visit www.neb.com/lyoprime.
